Suitable for:
Individuals from London and the south of England with an actual or suspected diagnosis of severe personality disorder, with very serious offences and assessed as high/very high risk of harm to others. Most referrals come from MSUs or from A or B Category prisons. Although the individual does not need to consent to the referral, a complete lack of motivation to engage in therapy may make the referral impractical.
Offer:
240 high secure hospital places for the assessment, treatment and care of men with mental illness and personality disorders who represent a high degree of risk to themselves or to others. Treatment includes a combination of medication and psychological therapies. Average stay is 5-6 years, though many people have shorter stays.

Referral Process
Before referral is made agreed from the medium secure unit in the catchment area and written evidence of this is required. Referrals should be in writing and include past psychiatric history (dates of admission, reasons, legal status, treatment, incidents and outcome), social history, (with indications of what has been independently corroborated), details of events (index offence or behaviour as an in-patient) which triggered the referral, past medical history, forensic history, history of substance abuse, copies of significant past reports, and a summary of the current treatment plan. Referrals should emailed to
wlm-tr.broadmorrreferrals@nhs.net. The referral will be discussed in the admissions panel and if the referral is accepted the individual will be admitted within 14days. If the referral is not accepted the reasons will be given in writing to the refer.
